Accident

I don't see why it would be an issue. Your company is applying for a new authority. Who your company hires is determined by if the company can secure insurance for said driver. Or if the driver has been declared off the road by the fmcsa like we read about sometimes then that driver can't be on the road period. All of that has nothing to do with a new authority application.

 

I didn't have a problem getting my own authority with a minor accident (december last year, someone hit my truck while parked, not my fault, his insurance paid repairs, i didn't file a claim on my own insurance)

But it still showed up and caused my insurance for my new authority to double in cost when i got quotes.

You can get authority with accidents, just depends whether you can afford the insurance going up because of said accident.

 

That's bad to get doubled insurance quote just because someone else hit you while parked. You didn't even do anything.
